    I'm thinking this is more the size of a standard marble. Been in the earth awhile and it is plastic.

    Just in case anyone was still wondering....
    .... this is a normal potato, that my kids got hold off. They have a potato gun which is toy metal gun; basically you dig the end of the barrel into the potato and twist out a small chunk, which comes out tube shaped, you then fire this out of the gun by pulling the trigger (air pushes it out).
    The end result is a potato that looks like the above one, but it was difficult to see as this one just happened to be almost completely round!

    Thanks for playing / commenting...
    regards,
    Carl

    Hi Carl, and welcome to Dgrin thumb.gif
    .... sorry I wasn't around when you posted your first Macro Shot (doing Renovations at my place) I now have my internet connection back, so I'm trying to catch up with posts.

    Thats a very clear potato shot indeed, but I prefer my tato's baked rolleyes1.gif

    My first thoughts when I saw the image was that it was a ball of cookie dough on a park bench hehehe.

    Good shot Carl, made me look more than once to see what it was.
    Welcome aboard, enjoy the forums thumb.gif ..... Skippy :D
